Fans Have Spoken: Phil Hughes Stays With Yanks
The rule when following the Yankees is simple: They’re the Yankees, so
anything is possible. But from all indications, the Yankees are out of the
bidding for Johan Santana, and they seem happy to be forging ahead with
their platoon of young pitchers intact.
It was wrenching enough for the Yankees to even offer Phil Hughes to the
Twins for Santana, and General Manager Brian Cashman was never too
enthusiastic. Hank Steinbrenner, the senior vice president, said he had
heard that fans were glad the Yankees pulled out of the Santana chase.
“I don’t base what I do on other people’s opinions,” Steinbrenner said.
“You can’t take opinion polls every day. But I’m really pleased at the
fan reaction to keeping Hughes, and the fans do matter. Their opinion
does matter.
“They’re the ones that buy tickets and watch the YES Network. I like
the way they get attached to homegrown Yankee players, just like the
rest of us do in ownership and the front office. I was actually kind
of surprised. But the fans seem to be in favor of keeping Hughes, and
that’s a good thing.”
A rotation of Chien-Ming Wang, Andy Pettitte, Joba Chamberlain, Mike
Mussina and Hughes – with Ian Kennedy also in the mix – has the
potential to be very good. If the Yankees truly stay away from Santana,
the rest of their off-season may center on bolstering the bullpen.
The free-agent market is thin, so the Yankees seem prepared to build
from within. At this point, it will be a free-for-all in spring training,
with Jonathan Albaladejo, Chris Britton, Brian Bruney, Ross Ohlendorf and
Jose Veras among the right-handed candidates, and Sean Henn, Kei Igawa
and Chase Wright from the left side.
And that is not even counting the starters Cashman plans to try in
relief: Alan Horne, Jeff Marquez and Steven White.
“We’re going to have a good team,” Cashman said. “We have a lot of
work to do. There are areas of need that still need to be addressed,
and we’ll stay focused on that.”

看來蠻多美國鄉民都還蠻支持將Hughes留下來的。
